Self-motivation was definitely a skill I had to learn. The thing that most helped me change my situation was the book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Dr. Stephen Covey. I read it for the first time 12 years ago and it smacked me in the face.
It taught me that motivation comes from within. It gave me a great guide to figuring out what my goals and priorities are, that I have choices, and that it is both my right and responsibility to take action. It provides very powerful information that has helped me be a better, more successful and productive human being.
Take care and best of luck!

Music, something that get your blood rush in a positive way not negative. Seeing someone else doing what you want to do. Or maybe just telling someone you know will support what you want to do and make you wanna get up and get it done... Don't of it as something that you don't wanna...

Look and think about all you need to get done.
Start with the most important
Tell your self you will finish what you start
and do it.
The more you put off , the more there will be to get done, and
the longer it will take you.

Music... Whether its headbanging to get the blood flowing or tranquil and serene to calm myself it's music all the way for me... You can always just dance around too, that helps get you motivated! <('-'<) ^( '-' )^ (>'-')> <( '-' )>

Talk to some people you are close to about any sort of personal/social problems you're facing currently... That OPENS UP your mind...
